[median seal]

Because

||i upgraded nail to level 2 and have a vessel upgra||

Btw

[worldly bramble]

gng

[median seal]

||is nosk or broken vessel harder?||

[worldly bramble]

I’m not gonna lie

[gusty cove]

||broken vessel||

[gusty cove]

wsp

[analog ore]

||With the cheese Nosk is easier||

[median seal]

Pls tell .e

Pls beo

[worldly bramble]

||broken vessel was easy with steady body||

[gusty cove]

true

everything is easy with ||steady body|| tho

[worldly bramble]

and ||quickslash if you have it||

[soft raptor]

||If you hug the ledge in the center he runs over you, and his orange blobs rarely hit you||

[random spear]

i spent too long on my no-heal run while fighting ||nosk||

[worldly bramble]

||steady body quickslash || is literally the best possible for nail dps

[median seal]

Hmm

I have

||5 charm norches||

[analog ore]

||and strenght ofc||

[random spear]

add ||strength|| in there but that's late-game anyway

[worldly bramble]

ik

[median seal]

||which charm build u guys recommend?||

[worldly bramble]

that’s why I didn’t include

[gusty cove]

early game for ||fragile|| but thats it

[soft raptor]

||would shaman stone be good for ascended traitor lord||

[gusty cove]

send ||charms||

[random spear]

send screneshot of ||charms||

[gusty cove]

depends. what are your preferences?

[worldly bramble]

yeah but nail dps is kind on hard to maintain because ur usually js tanking

[soft raptor]

||I sharp shadow through him when he charges, then send a shade soul his way and rinse and repeat, so I answered my own question by the fact it’d be helpful with the way I treat him ||

[worldly bramble]

son

[gusty cove]

||quickslash and spell twister|| imo

but also

[random spear]

swap out ||compass|| and ||swarm|| for ||spell twister||

[gusty cove]

GET MORE ||CHARMS||

[random spear]

but only on bosses

[median seal]

Ok

[worldly bramble]

get ||steady body|| twin ✌️😔

[random spear]

real

[worldly bramble]

like comon

[median seal]

Nah

[random spear]

yah

[gusty cove]

i sometimes use it but im more of a ||spell|| person so

[worldly bramble]

are we seriously turning down the second best build

[random spear]

its a freaking LIFESAVER bro

[gusty cove]

not often

plus with ||sbody|| everything feels too easy

[soft raptor]

I’ve never used ||steady body||

[random spear]

||quickslash|| is the pinnacle of my existence

[median seal]

I am gonna try

[worldly bramble]

exactly

[median seal]

And kill

||the dreamer in deepnes||

[gusty cove]

yeah. its actually what i dont like about it

just my personal opinion

[random spear]

||radhog is calling||

[gusty cove]

wdym

im alr doing ||aschog||

[random spear]

bro you are not getting that without either of those charms

[worldly bramble]

I mean||spell spamming || also kind of pointless if u wanna struggle

[gusty cove]

i like a challenge

im a masochist like the rest of the hk community

[median seal]

Nevermind

[random spear]

bro

[gusty cove]

not spamming rlly

[random spear]

ok

[gusty cove]

thanks for accepting my decision

i said i dont use it often, not that i dont use it at all anyway

[worldly bramble]

I mean kinda the point of a ||spell build || but ok it’s your opinion and I respect that

[gusty cove]

i try to slow fights quite a bit cause i just like it more lol. i know its weird, its just how i play.

my goal isnt speed, just to enjoy myself

anyway

[worldly bramble]

ok

I just like the no struggle in a difficult game

because I LOVE ruining the experience

[soft raptor]

||I can do attuned traitor lords without taking dmg but ascended I’m struggling ||

[gusty cove]

😞

[gusty cove]

its cause the battle is longer. ||bosses get more health on ascended.||

[soft raptor]

He already is a tanky boy

[gusty cove]

ehhh

sorta

[soft raptor]

Doesn’t help with the fact he does 4dmg

[gusty cove]

yeah no :/ its hard, but i believe in you!

[soft raptor]

Thank you! No healing time either

[gusty cove]

i think you can heal during the ||orange wind things attack|| if you get the placement right but dont quote me on that

[soft raptor]

Did it, easy

[gusty cove]

nice

[soft raptor]

I equipped ||dash master||

Now onto ||zote||

[gusty cove]

oh god 😭

[soft raptor]

I hate him sm

||shouldn’t have saved him||

[gusty cove]

real

[random spear]

oops

nevermind

[soft raptor]

Hahaha all good

Any ||zote|| tips while you’re at it?

[median seal]

[gloomy stirrup]

I beated the ||hollow knight|| but stuck at ||grimm||

[versed summit]

But in order for me to play it, I had to download the mobile version

[short orbit]

Who

[median seal]

||nosk||

[versed summit]

But I still bought the game

[gusty cove]

ohh

[gloomy stirrup]

Bruh

[short orbit]

No but when he goes in the ceiling he’s like half hp

[gusty cove]

use ||mark of pride, quick focus, and shaman stone.||

[gloomy stirrup]

Oke

[gusty cove]

hiw many ||notches|| do you have actually?

i forgot to ask

[short orbit]

What ||charms u use for p5||

[gloomy stirrup]

Without the ||grimm pet|| i have 10 with it 8

[gusty cove]

sorry i didnt respond im kinda overloaded with questions one sec

[short orbit]

It’s alr

[gusty cove]

ok then use ||mark of pride, shaman stone, and spell twister|| maybe

[gloomy stirrup]

Okeeee

Thanks

[gusty cove]

i use ||strength, soul eater, qslash, and dream wielder/steady body|| usually

but it depends on your playstyle

[short orbit]

I’m a || nail type guy||

[soft raptor]

I have no clue how to go about ||ascended zote||

[gusty cove]

ok then ||strength, steady body, quickslash, mark of pride, grubsong||

[gusty cove]

i dont either, im sorry 😞

[short orbit]

Ok

[sage smelt]

basically you press attack and dont get hit /j

[soft raptor]

[short orbit]

I’ll try it btw my old ||build was strength qslash mop heart||

[soft raptor]

The intro to the fight is so long

[sage smelt]

eh not really

[soft raptor]

It is when you die before you can even stagger him once

[sage smelt]

bruh

[gusty cove]

why is your pronouns aleph-1 and the lambert w constant

[sage smelt]

its aleph 1 / absolute infinity and its cos idrc and also they reference hardmode binf

[gusty cove]

ohhh absolute infinity

ok i thought it was lambert w

[sage smelt]

lol nw

[median seal]

Which build u recommend?

[short orbit]

For ||nosk?||

[median seal]

Yes

[gusty cove]

i said get more ||charms|| and you still refuse to take my advice 😭

[median seal]

||my shade is in the boss room||

[gusty cove]

kill it and quit out

[short orbit]

Rlly I ||would use other charms that u dont have but i recommend js cheese him when he runs stay in the corner of platforms then hit upward

[median seal]

Corner of platforms?

[short orbit]

Yes

[short orbit]

What was || ur build again ima try it

[gusty cove]

||strength, steady body, quickslash, mark of pride, grubsong||

alr im gonna go chat

[short orbit]

Cya

[soft raptor]

||is there a way to know if zote gets low/a certain point in his health, that way I know if i should continue or just quit this stupid boss xD||

[tawny horizon]

I'm in ||crystal caverns|| and have explored all areas that I can except this one that's in pitch darkness. Is the only way to progress to by the ||lumafly lantern?||

[median seal]

fuck this game

Bro

I genuinely believe he was at 5 precent health

[soft raptor]

Means you’re close, keep going

[median seal]

Can he stop with the drip spamming

[short orbit]

R u doing the cheese

[soft raptor]

From the ceiling, or when he stands in the center

[whole sluice]

Technically you can go in there without having ||lantern|| but if you actually want to see them yeah you need it.

[median seal]

J think so

[median seal]

Ceiling

[soft raptor]

I slowly creep walk so he doesn’t spam it all over the place, when you hear him scream you know he’s coming back down and you can crawl back in your corner

[median seal]

Got his ass

[final remnant]

I GOT 3 STAGGERS INTO ||GRIMM|| AND THEN DIED BECAUSE I LOST MY FLOW

[soft raptor]

Ggs

[soft raptor]

Had that happen way too many times

But now i love his fight

Literally a dance

You got this tho

[median seal]

I didn't do the cheese tho

[tawny horizon]

It's hard bc there are ||crystal fly thingys|| in there 😭

[soft raptor]

Haha yeah those are a pain

[formal pivot]

||Charms recomended for thrid coloseam fight?||

[soft raptor]

I do recommend the ||lantern||

[tawny horizon]

I don't have any geo tho 😭

(time to grind...)

[soft raptor]

Time to turn hollow knight into farming simulator

[tawny horizon]

I'm gonna find some geo hacks lol

[soft raptor]

Saving ||grubs|| is a good way to get geo

[median seal]

Ok so guys

How much does

||level 3 nail||

Cost

[tawny horizon]

Oh 🙃 I have TONS of ||grubs|| thanks for reminding me

[whole sluice]

Probably ||long nail|| or ||mark of pride|| because of one section, and you might wanna have some ||lifeblood|| extra health on as well

[soft raptor]

||4000 geo, 3 pale ore||

[median seal]

Bro really

[soft raptor]

Of course! ||father grub|| gives a ton

[soft raptor]

Yep

[formal pivot]

The ||floating section where you have no floor?||

[whole sluice]

Yeah.

Makes it easier to pogo.

[soft raptor]

I used ||grimmchild but you banished the troupe I see||

[tawny horizon]

thanks ||father grub!||

[soft raptor]

[formal pivot]

yeah ;-; on accident too, before I ||got my fragile life fixed||

[soft raptor]

Oh yeah I remember you saying that hahaha

[formal pivot]

My ||geo I have no idea what to spend on||

[stray hawk]

I just completed ||path of pain||🥳

[soft raptor]

[formal pivot]

mhm

[gloomy stirrup]

I BEAT IIIIIIT

[soft raptor]

I don’t even know how to start ||PoP||

Who’d you beat :0

[whole sluice]

Do you have all the ||unbreakables|| yet?

[whole sluice]

Honestly is it’s hard if you just have ||hiveblood|| on.

[soft raptor]

He can’t make them ||unbreakable||

[whole sluice]

Ah.

[soft raptor]

||He banished the troupe||

[formal pivot]

Yes

[formal pivot]

ye

[whole sluice]

Well then idk if you cleaned out every shop geo is kinda useless.

[soft raptor]

||What does the charm do when you banish them actually||

[whole sluice]

Honestly I have no clue I’ve never done it outside of the achievement

Oh.

[formal pivot]

You get a new one that ||protects you from damage||

[whole sluice]

Yeah I looked it up it sucks 💀

[soft raptor]

Oh-

||grimmchild|| is a pretty decent one

Helped me with ||radiant|| when I couldn’t get to her

[formal pivot]

||Charm Name: Carefree Melody
Cost: 3 Notches
Effect: A defensive charm that has a chance to negate damage when you are hit (ranging from roughly 10% to 90% chance depending on how often it has failed to trigger recently).
Replacement: This charm replaces the Grimmchild charm, which is lost upon banishment. ||

Thats what google said

[soft raptor]

That’s a big ass range

[formal pivot]

ye

[tawny horizon]

I got ||fragile strength|| then broke it... My friend told me there is a way to repair it but is there a way to make it not ||fragile|| ?

[whole sluice]

For three ||notches|| slots I’d rather pick any other three ||notch|| charm 💀

[soft raptor]

There is yes

[whole sluice]

There is but it’s much later.

[random spear]

yes; do you have ||grimm troupe dlc||

[formal pivot]

Yeah, have you been to ||howling cliffs?||

[tawny horizon]

😶 what's that

[tawny horizon]

Nope

[soft raptor]

But I recommend not using the ||fragile ones|| until later

[formal pivot]

the quest to fix it is there

[tawny horizon]

Ok

[soft raptor]

Do you have ||hollow knight void heart edition||

[random spear]

it's dlc from the game and you can unlock it
only until there can you find a way to make it not ffragile

[tawny horizon]

😶 huh

[tawny horizon]

I don't think so

[soft raptor]

Ah okay bc dlc is included there

[whole sluice]

I played the switch version so idk what editions matter sorry

[tawny horizon]

Oh I play switch too

[whole sluice]

Then you have all the dlc.

[tawny horizon]

Switch already has them

[soft raptor]

Then you’ll be able to make them ||unbreakable|| eventually

But not for a while

[tawny horizon]

Oki

Thanks alot

[whole sluice]

Why is ||voidheart|| a spoiler if it’s literally in an edition you can buy 💀 💀 💀 💀

[soft raptor]

HAHA I was confused myself

[sour jewel]

cant send images

[soft raptor]

You have to spoiler them

[sour jewel]

what should i do

[soft raptor]

If you’re in steam have you done verified game files

[sour jewel]

what is this

[soft raptor]

Doesn’t always work but it’s worth trying

[sour jewel]

alr

[soft raptor]

Well hope that’ll help :)

[clear igloo]

Does anyone have any advice for fighting || NKG? || I’ve been practicing in || godhome || and I’ve been doing pretty well, but I’m not sure if it’ll be enough

[sour jewel]

what sould i do

[soft raptor]

If you can beat a boss 3 times in a row you know you’re ready

[soft raptor]

It says it’s reacquiring the files, so I think you can run it again?

[clear igloo]

I’m learning the attack patterns and starting to enjoy the fight more

[soft raptor]

Oh I love ||Grimm and NKG|| now, hated it at first

[sour jewel]

alr

@soft raptor you are my goat

[clear igloo]

Usually I just fight || ascended Grimm ||, then move on to || NKG||

[soft raptor]

Go for ||radiant NKG||

Then you’re ready

[clear igloo]

sure😂

[soft raptor]

Hahahah

||Radiant Grimm|| feels doable

[sour jewel]

i want to install randomizer mod

what should i download

i use scarab btw

[soft raptor]

His ||uppercut|| just fuck me up, || the fire falling down||

[clear igloo]

I’m usually fine with the ||falling fire||, it’s just him ||lunging forwards before the uppercut||

[soft raptor]

I use ||sharp shadow, so I dash through him and it even does dmg||

[clear igloo]

That’s a really good idea, I should use that

[soft raptor]

[vestal estuary]

i dodge it by standing next to where he was on the ground before jumping
||rad grimm was my first rad, rad nkg was my second||
such a peak boss

[soft raptor]

||He’s very quick so you’re safe to dash through 99% of the time||

[clear igloo]

Ive been considering ||shape of unn|| so I can heal during the ||fire pillar attack||

[soft raptor]

You’re safe standing where he was before he jumps?

[soft raptor]

That’s a good idea, you dodge under them yeah

[vestal estuary]

a little to the side because one goes straight down but yeah

[soft raptor]

I only heal during the ||spiky vines||

[bright sorrel]

[soft raptor]

||I just shade dash through the fire it still works||

[clear igloo]

Last time I fought him I think I got through || 3 phases||

[soft raptor]

||First time I fought him I didn’t release he did a bow so he screamed at me for hitting him ||

[soft raptor]

Nice!

[clear igloo]

same here

[soft raptor]

Now I bow with him

Oh

He loves spamming his ||drill on radiant||

[chrome plover]

I genuinely despise ||abs radiance's spike side attack||

||nail spike?||

[random spear]

||ddark|| is your friend

[chrome plover]

Nah its my enemy I click it and then die somehow

[soft raptor]

||radiant Grimm|| killed

[chrome plover]

Also the ||platform|| version is more ugly

[random spear]

same layout

[chrome plover]

||My charms are: shaman, qslash, strength, grimm child and long nail||

[tepid salmon]

guys

[chrome plover]

Is that good ._.

[sour jewel]

any tips to defeat ||pantheon 5 markoth
||

[chrome plover]

||either use dash slash alot everytime he spins his shield or get alot of soul and dont use it in soul tyrant than dish it out on markoth||

[sour jewel]

i will collect soul

[chrome plover]

If you wanna practice him do ||ascended markoth in hall of gods||

[sour jewel]

alr

[chrome plover]

He will do double damage tho so ye

[sour jewel]

tysm

[chrome plover]

Np and goodluck its fine to lose vs him he is one of the hardest Bosses actually due to his aren ;-;

[sour jewel]

can u suggest a charm set for me pls

[silent fern]

||https://youtube.com/shorts/R8IjS105rk8?si=6cPEInFWtr42ESC4||. Guys does this actually work

[shut sparrow]

yes

idk why you'd cheese the boss tho

[bright sorrel]

[shut sparrow]

hello anika

[bright sorrel]

must be new...

[chrome plover]

Owh
Idk if you can have a ||charm build|| bec after ||markoth is zote then false knight and then a very very difficult boss so I recommend the normal shaman, unbreakable strength, quick slash, grubsong and/or dream weilder or nail masters glory (or long nail)||

[shut sparrow]

been like a year

[cold rock]

ah

i see

[cold rock]

honestly, ||shaman alone is enough to deal with p5 markoth||

[chrome plover]

Yea but if he is making for him he has to take note for the other bosses :p

[cold rock]

yeah, you can use that for the whole split though, it's one charm

[soft raptor]

||Nailsage Sly|| does not mess around

[chrome plover]

||radiant?||

If so its super funny

||mark of pride and grubberfly with quick slash|| he gets destroyed

Just remember to dodge from time to time but he still gets melted i would stagger him alot and quick

[cold rock]

also, know your options

like especially if you're cornered

[soft raptor]

Just ||attuned|| I’m afraid, but beat him 3 times in a row so I guess I’m ready for ||p3||

[cold rock]

you can ||ddive, or straight up walljump away and dash, or dash, but you need to know what works and when||

[cold rock]

you got this

[soft raptor]

Thank you! I’ll keep that in mind

[cold rock]

also for his second phase im sure you already know, ||its best to charge a nail art, then dash and hit him whilst hes moving away so that it doesn't take as long||

[soft raptor]

I just did that actually so yeah

[bright sorrel]

nuhuh

[cold rock]

nice nice

[median seal]

||sup bro remember me? i beat nosk and broken vessel and i got coiled nail + 7 masks and i bought all of salubras charms what can i do now||

Oh

I know

That one boss

||in royal water ways||

What do i get for beating him

[untold matrix]

If you mean ||dung defender|| After exploring more in that area, acces to a new sort of movement ability

[median seal]

Who is he

Oh

Wait

I remember a honey like area

I Couldnt Access the top floor now i can

Ill just explore there

[soft raptor]

Just beat ||p3||, onto ||p4|| we go

[untold matrix]

I believe in you

[soft raptor]

Thank youuu

I’m scared it’ll be hard as hell tho

[untold matrix]

The ||pantheons|| just keep increasing in difficulty so yeah……….. but you are unstoppable

[soft raptor]

Thank youuu

Forgot ||no eyes|| existed

[untold matrix]

Such a boring fight sort of based on luck, definitely not my favourite boss

[soft raptor]

Yeah I agree! Terrible singer as well

Jk

Alright only scary boss in the first half is ||white defender||

[cold rock]

yeah i do, thats awesome

[small mortar]

Such a goated fight ngl

[warm eagle]

i am the goat of hollow knight

[silent fern]

Cuz its too hard 😭 but will he actually die tho

[echo shell]

is it possible to loose the ||flower|| if i get damaged to a spike?

[warm eagle]

Any damage

[untold matrix]

Any damage will break it

[warm eagle]

= lost

[echo shell]

oh lord :c

[warm eagle]

I lost because of the flower 4 times

[untold matrix]

You can kill all enemies that don’t respawn on the route you take without resting and walk without the fear of enemies once you get the ||flower|| to walk the same route

[silent fern]

||https://youtube.com/shorts/R8IjS105rk8?si=6cPEInFWtr42ESC4||. Guys does this actually work when fighting ||lost kin|| in a ||dream||

[untold matrix]

Beat it without using skill

[silent fern]

oh

[warm eagle]

What do you mean

[echo shell]

i did it first try after clearing all the enemies

[untold matrix]

Like if you stay in a corner the boss dies automatically

[silent fern]

nvm

[echo shell]

the obby o mean

[untold matrix]

Or something

[warm eagle]

I won all the bosses fights no hit

If you have a problem, ask me

[silent fern]

||lost kin||

[untold matrix]

Damn, I wish I had that skill

[warm eagle]

The toughest boss I've ever faced is

Absolute redeance

He almost wanted to destroy me

It took 8 consecutive hours

[silent fern]

can u help me w ||lost kin||

[echo shell]

ok so how ||god home|| and if possible can i obtain another ||flower|| after i finish the grave Quest?

[random spear]

he?

[warm eagle]

She"

[warm eagle]

Would you like me to record a video for you?

[silent fern]

uh no its fine

[random spear]

unfortunately u cant get another one after finishing

[warm eagle]

If you want, I can open a screen share and watch me

[silent fern]

nah its fine

[echo shell]

dang i locked myself out from one of the ||endings||

[random spear]

sad

[warm eagle]

It's easy, just focus on his movements when he wants to approach you

[silent fern]

hm alr ty for the tips

[warm eagle]

His movements are simple and predictable

[warm eagle]

Anytime

[echo shell]

but to live on to ||silk song|| i still need the ||void heart|| right?

[untold matrix]

From the bench in ||royal waterways|| you head down and then a bit to the left (where there is a exploding enemy) you head up in that ceiling

[random spear]

wdym to live on

[echo shell]

||shade lord||

[random spear]

yes i believe

[echo shell]

||the collector?|| that guy?

[untold matrix]

No

[echo shell]

[random spear]

[untold matrix]

Of the place to go or the enemy

[echo shell]

[echo shell]

[soft raptor]

I just faced ||pure vessel|| for the first time and I’m scared

[random spear]

@echo shell

[echo shell]

[random spear]

[untold matrix]

You were quicker

[warm eagle]

[random spear]

[warm eagle]

Go down

Then left

[random spear]

i already know how to go myself

but yeah

[warm eagle]

Im 112% too

[random spear]

[soft raptor]

I can only stagger ||pure vessel|| once then I’m dead xD

[random spear]

wait no not downleft

upleft

[random spear]

which attacks do you struggle on

[soft raptor]

All of them

I watched a boss guide. But I still can’t do it

[echo shell]

hm ok

[muted eagle]

You just gotta pull the try 1000 times till you win

[soft raptor]

Maybe I’m too aggressive

[muted eagle]

definitely a fight you need to be patient with

[soft raptor]

Is he in ||p5||

[random spear]

yes very much

[soft raptor]

Mf just exploded

[warm eagle]

Who

[soft raptor]

||pure vessel||

I wasn’t expecting the ||soul circles||

[warm eagle]

4

[random spear]

alright
when they charge: ||you have to recognize this quickly, but either shade cloak through them or jump; the latter case allows you to turn around and land 1-2 hits but the former works too||
when they triple-slash: ||shade cloak through them; do NOT try to dash away from them as they will catch up to u and you will take dmg anyway. if your shade cloak is down, use descending dark or jump up, use monarch wings(really quickly) and pogo or just dash away||
when they do the glowy hands attack: ||shade cloak or ddark, simple as that||
when they do the sword pillars attack: ||dash away and either ddark or move a safe spot QUICKLY||
when they do the focus attack where a bunch of circles appear: ||shade cloak away or ddark when the big circle comes in, then patiently dodge the smol circles and BE SURE TO PAY ATTENTION TO PV as he will perform an attac as soon as the last circle appears||
when they do the ||void tentacles:|| ||ddark or jump up, dash, and pogo||
@soft raptor

t l;dr, ||ddark|| is ur friend

[warm eagle]

||hi||

[random spear]

what

[warm eagle]

Taste

[soft raptor]

Hahah thanks for the tips

I’m gonna try my best

When he does the focus attack is he 2/3rd hp?

[random spear]

he does the focus attack at 2/3 hp and the ||void tentacles|| attack at 1/3 hp

[soft raptor]

Okay so I got to 2/3

[random spear]

yep

you can do this trust

[soft raptor]

Idk if I can mann hahaha

||why’d he break his white armor it looks sick||

[echo shell]

how get the ||key|| to open that place up?

the ||locked cocoon||

[random spear]

||simple key||
which ones have you found so far

[echo shell]

[random spear]

and where have you found them

[random spear]

you ||dreamnail|| after unlocking the cocoon

[echo shell]

im not sure/

[random spear]

[soft raptor]

There’s one ||behind the colosseum|| that I didn’t know about

[echo shell]

||sly||

[random spear]

ok
there's one in ||ancient basin|| on the long path to ||broken vessel|| iirc? i might have forgot

[echo shell]

hmmm ill go investigate

[random spear]

and there's also one in a hidden corridor in ||city of tears|| near ||city storerooms stag||

like you go left and go down

[echo shell]

||kingdoms edge?||

[random spear]

that's ||king's station||

[echo shell]

hmmmm ima check it out ty

[random spear]

np

[soft raptor]

||pure vessel soundtrack goes hard||

[random spear]

[soft raptor]

Maybe it’s gonna be a case of ||Grimm||, I hated the fight bc it was too hard for me and now I love him ||and done radiant Grimm||

[median seal]

Why do pros never use any soul in boss fights including silksong is there a reason

Or is it just to flex

[echo shell]

they dont need it.

[shut sparrow]

you don't need to do it

[random spear]

it's not to flex, it's because using their nail gives more dps

[random spear]

i jsut read this

[echo shell]

ok im in the ||stag station for City store rooms|| wuh next

[median seal]

||i think they use quick slash and mark of pride then||

[echo shell]

yes

[random spear]

go left into the enxt room

[echo shell]

mhm

[random spear]

||fury of the fallen||

||mark of pride is useless in speedruns||

[random spear]

go down into the room with a buncha ||winged sentries||

[solid heart]

what

[echo shell]

mhm

[random spear]

look along the right wall for hidden corridors

there will be a ||simple key|| in one of them

[solid heart]

Someone who is truly experienced at the game knows when and where to use soul best, it is a very careful resource to be managed

But more often than not ||nail is indeed simpler and more straightforward||

[random spear]

why does that sound more poetic than it needs to be

[silent fern]

need the ||essence||

[solid heart]

Also there's ||nail only as challenge ig||

[solid heart]

That's just how I speak 😭

[random spear]

lmao

[echo shell]

top middle or bottom. i dont see anything in there. no sound too.

[random spear]

one sec lemme show u

[echo shell]

k

[soft raptor]

I’m always too late to react to his focus attack

[echo shell]

no key in there

[random spear]

i think you already picked it up

[echo shell]

[random spear]

[soft raptor]

[soft raptor]

||I use defender’s crest bc it insta kills those flying things, so you can heal while he’s staggered||

[echo shell]

hm ok ty

[silent fern]

[echo shell]

REALLY OH LORD I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN :c

[silent fern]

[silent fern]

[soft raptor]

||killing lost kin||

[echo shell]

||took me like 15 tries to kill the normal version. and liek 5 tries to kill the uh Dream version||

[silent fern]

its not ez tho when im bad 😭

[soft raptor]

Believe in yourself

I’m having a hard time believing in myself with this boss I’m doing but yk

[silent fern]

1 try to kill the normal version, infinite tries to kill the ||dream|| version

[soft raptor]

||sharp shadow helps a ton||

And ||fragile strength, since it’s a dream fight||

[echo shell]

im normally bad at games like ||hollow knight|| but this Game here Trained me to be better. just dont give up. keep trying and trying.

[silent fern]

bro i dont got infinite time thooo

i want ||kings brand|| but i need the ||pale ore|| so i can upgrade my ||nail||

[soft raptor]

You can do it

[echo shell]

oh forget about the boss then. upgrade your gear before fighting the ||dream version||

[silent fern]

tmrw i have school and my parents wont lemme play for the next week so i rlly wanna get ||kings brand|| before i leave

[silent fern]

how i have 7 ||masks|| and 2 extra ||reserve vessels||

[random spear]

how much ||essence|| u got

[silent fern]

132

[echo shell]

you would need to fight ||hornet|| a second time. the fight is more difficult that when you first fought her.

[silent fern]

ik

but i wanna upgrade my ||nail|| before i do so

[echo shell]

||vessel Fragments?||

[silent fern]

and i need the 300 ||essence for seer||

[silent fern]

2 extra whole ||vessels||

[random spear]

alr, you only need to get one more ||whispering roots|| and a ||dream warrior|| before getting a ||pale ore as reward from seer||

[soft raptor]

Does deflecting do dmg to the enemy or is it just to deflect damage done to you

[random spear]

depends

[echo shell]

oh what?

[silent fern]

164 not 132 mb

mb

[soft raptor]

||if I pogo on pure vessel when he does his 3 slash||

[silent fern]

wha?

[random spear]

ok
have you defeated ||elder hu|| yet

oops uncspoiler

[silent fern]

no

is he ez

[random spear]

[soft raptor]

Yes

[echo shell]

||elder hu??|| never heard of him

[random spear]

he's in ||fungal|| above ||city of tears entrance room||

[random spear]

he

[soft raptor]

Does that do dmg to him? Not that I’m gonna use it as a tactic but just curious

[echo shell]

i think i grabbed that too. but ill still check the area if i missed some ||secret|| area there.

[silent fern]

oh i beat ||lost kin|| finally

les go

i figured out what i was doing around

[soft raptor]

||you can buy a pin from iselda that shows warrior graves, theyre dream fights. (You gain essence) Elder Hu is one of them||

Nice! Good job

[acoustic chasm]

I hate this game so

Yo

[soft raptor]

I can’t react to ||his focus attack|| omg

I just want some extra hits in and then boom

Before I realize there’s a circle forming I’m dead

[sonic arch]

uh where is the ||nail smith,|| i kept dying in ||mantis village|| and guy i forgot the name of told me to find it

[silent fern]

[acoustic chasm]

I’ve been trying on and off all day

I’ve been close but haven’t beat him once

[soft raptor]

I can get him to 2/3rd

[acoustic chasm]

How do you tell

[soft raptor]

He does his circle things

That’s 2/3rd

||void tendrils is 1/3rd||

So 33% hp left

[echo shell]

||i did not find a key :c||

||i think i claimed it already||

[soft raptor]

Have you been to || the colosseum||

[echo shell]

yes. but idk of the area you speak of in that area

[soft raptor]

||theres a breakable wall with an enemy holding a simple key, you have to kill him and you’ll obtain it||

[echo shell]

WHERE????

[soft raptor]

||You go where the bench is, all the way to the right, then you’re on the other side of ||the arena|| that wall you can break and you’ll see a yellow enemy||

Why’d the arena not spoiler

lol

[acoustic chasm]

Oh then I’m consistantly getting him to around half

[sonic arch]

would it be spamming to ask this again

[soft raptor]

Nice! I can’t yet hhaha but I’ve only been fighting him for 30 mins or so

I’m glad I can get him to 2/3rd-

Once in a while

[primal harbor]

He's in one of the pipes in the left wall of the big drop room

[primal harbor]

He is in the left of ||City||. There should be a hut looking thing in the bottom left corner.

[broken stirrup]

Whata re good charms for ||Nkg||? I have all of them and unbreaking

[acoustic chasm]

|| venge fly king rad is only hard because they summon like a million enemies that you have to focus on like I swear to god||

[tepid salmon]

how do i spolier my messages on pc

||anyone have any tips for radiance?||

[primal harbor]

Absolute Cinema 🔥

[sly surge]

||mainly focus on nail charms since theres rlly only 1 attack where u can hit him with spells||

||i would use stregnth, mop (bc u dont rlly need quick slash since he teleports so much), shaman, and any 2 notch charm||

[past bear]

where do i go after fighting ||hornet||

[primal ibex]

Just explore more

[past bear]

alr im genuinely just confused

[primal ibex]

Do you remember anywhere where there was a jump you couldn’t reach?

[past bear]

no

imma just look around

[whole sluice]

You can always backtrack when you get a new power 👍

[past bear]

true

[silent fern]

GUYS PLZ HELP IM IN NEED OF A CHARM BUILD ASAP FOR ||HORNET||

[primal ibex]

Look at your map, are there any spots that look sketched, fade out or have an opening in the wall?

[past bear]

im in ||forgoten crossroads|| rn

[silent fern]

||2nd hornet fight or first||

[primal harbor]

You should use ||Mark of Pride|| for nail reach

[past bear]

first

[silent fern]

mmm lets see ur map

[bright hamlet]

For her in ||edge, I suggest mop, shaman, qslash||

[bright hamlet]

huh...

[silent fern]

ok ty guys

[primal harbor]

can you send map

[primal ibex]

||quickslash, shaman, mark of pride||

[silent fern]

hmm thats weird

[past bear]

what?

[primal ibex]

@past bear

[silent fern]

the place where you should've fought ||hornet|| is already filled out, which typically means u have already explored the area

[past bear]

is that not supposed to be like that?

[silent fern]

should we tell him cuz his map is messed up iirc

[primal ibex]

But that doesn’t mean they fully explored it

[primal harbor]

you can go two ways like this

[silent fern]

if u didnt fight ||hornet|| already, then no

[primal harbor]

it's not messed up, just incomplete

[past bear]

i did fight them

[silent fern]

mm true, but now he doesnt know where hes supposed to go

[silent fern]

i thought u were looking for ||first hornet fight||

[silent fern]

wait am i tweaking

i think im tweaking

mb guys

[past bear]

oh no i just beat them before i took a break

[primal harbor]

@past bear

[silent fern]

oh oops

[past bear]

i saw ty

[silent fern]

wait i thought u wanted to find where she wass, not where to go after...

[past bear]

im going there now

[primal ibex]

This is a metroidvania, so explore

[primal harbor]

you get an incomplete section of the map from ||Cornifer||, and the rest fills in when you explore new parts of the area if you have ||Quill from Iselda||

[silent fern]

js explore now

[silent fern]

ya ik but i js didnt read his msg correctly

[silent fern]

u should js explore now, specifically ||greenpath|| but also explore unexplored remains of ||forgotten crossroads||

[past bear]

alr

ty

[silent fern]

guys pray for me 🙏 im fighting ||hornet sentinel for the first time||

[primal harbor]

gl bro ✌️

[silent fern]

ty

[primal harbor]

[silent fern]

ya i have 2 monitors so sometimes i accidentally take part of the other monitor when i screenshot

[primal harbor]

she's not that bad
but she is a lot faster
||and she has some new tricks up her sleeve ;)||

[silent fern]

mmm ||js the spikes is her new trick right??|| can u give me sum tips

[primal harbor]

||The spikes, and she has a new parry attack||

[primal ibex]

Use your ||spells|| a lot

[silent fern]

any tips

?

[primal harbor]

||Hit the spikes out as quickly as you can, use Vengeful Spirit to try and keep your distance from her, and her AOE attack has a bigger radius||

[primal harbor]

||She starts spawning the spikes at about half health||

[silent fern]

i died fuck

[silent fern]

i meant plz reply ping not plz dont reply ping

[primal harbor]

i always have reply ping

[silent fern]

oh

[primal harbor]

unless someone asks not to, of course

[silent fern]

that one didnt have a reply ping

[primal harbor]

maybe i accidentally turned it off for that message

[silent fern]

eh its fine dw abt it

[primal harbor]

[whole sluice]

W build.

[primal harbor]

yeah that's good

[silent fern]

😭😭

this is gon take a long time

wont it

[fiery smelt]

guys wish me goodluck || imma fight radiance for the first time||

[primal harbor]

😭 yeah, that fight is hard for the first couple times
took me like 75 minutes

[whole sluice]

Keep on trying you’ll get it before long.

Hollow knight can be real tricky at times.

[silent fern]

died again 😭😭

[primal harbor]

can you stream, maybe?

[silent fern]

mm ok

but i dont have a mic tho btw

[whole sluice]

That’s fine.

[primal harbor]

np
i just wanna see how you do it

[jaunty night]

Considering you just started on the boss, i'd expect to die a lot

[silent fern]

my game is lagging too much

@primal harbor im at like 20 fps

[primal harbor]

yeah, i can see that

you should stop streaming

[silent fern]

i dont think i can stream

[whole sluice]

Unfortunate

Could grind ||quick focus|| if you need it.

[silent fern]

mm ya

mm i think im js rlly bad

[primal harbor]

nah, this fight is just hard when you do it first

[bright hamlet]

Where are you dying

[primal harbor]

||Hornet Sentinel||

[bright hamlet]

Yes but what attack/phase

[primal harbor]

first

[silent fern]

middle of phase1 - phase2

[bright hamlet]

It took me like 20 tries too. Just try to learn her attacks, also you discovered the ||secret bench|| right

[silent fern]

that one?

[primal harbor]

as I said, it took me well over an hour when I first fought her
i had to go on a detour to ||Mantis Lords|| and collect more ||Mask Shards|| to come back later and fight her

[bright hamlet]

Yup.. Also what you get after defeating her isn't completely important for finishing the game and I recommend that you get a ||nail upgrade|| first

[silent fern]

omg ||descending dark is so generous w its invinciibilitry frames||

[primal harbor]

fr

[silent fern]

fuck

im rlly bad

[primal harbor]

😭

it takes time when you fight a boss for the first couple of times

doesn't mean you're bad

[silent fern]

im running into the boss lo

lol

[silent fern]

ur not seeing it from my perspecitve

[primal harbor]

ah, i see
that's quite an easy fix

just stop jumping, that's how she gets you

[jaunty night]

Side slash all the way

[silent fern]

mmm ok

[jaunty night]

Never pogo in that fight

[silent fern]

||even when she dashes||?

[jaunty night]

Oh

Well

[frozen plaza]

Wait does the ||nail arts|| do more damage than ||nail||?

[jaunty night]

For that I would probably pogo

[jaunty night]

I think

Well no not I think
